Wrong way to access LocalAppData #612

Description

@ibookstein

Application crashes with win32 exception at startup. Accesses Roaming/../Local, thereby assuming they are adjacent on the filesystem. For me, they are not.
Attempts to perform file copy operation for ApplicationSettings.xml from installation directory and fails because target directory doesn't exist. Exception is thrown and the process dies.
The fact that no information is displayed about the error and the application simply crashes ungracefully with an uncaught exception is a separate bug in itself, I had to do some WinDBG-and-Procmon-fu to determine the cause of the exception.
